Home Comforts

What 21st century home comfort couldn’t you live without? Your mobile phone? A nice cup of tea? A survey of UK homeowners and tenants carried out by SUPERSAVEROIL.COM, a home heating oil supplier, found that Wi-Fi is the number one (45%) home comfort that Brits feel they cannot go without. A microwave was the second most valued life luxury and, surprisingly, a third of Brits said they couldn’t live without a duvet (32%) – beating the humble cup of tea which received only 28% of votes. What would it be in your life that you simply could not live without? In a quick survey of the My Weekly office, we don’t think you’ll be surprised to learn that our top answer was cake!
